Army 71st Transportation Battalion — "The Expediters"
Vietnam Veteran Heritage Hoodie | Long Bình Terminal
They called them the Expediters — and for good reason. Headquartered at the US Army Terminal Newport in Long Bình, Vietnam, the 71st Transportation Battalion arrived in August 1966 and immediately got to work. This hoodie honors their mission, their sacrifice, and the legacy they built in the jungles and ports of Southeast Asia.
Wear it with pride. Wear it with purpose.
